Cuba's humanitarian mission

Cuba's healthcare system is an example to the rest of the world according to a good opinion piece on Guardian Unlimited. With all the current attention on the future state of Cuba, it's worthwhile looking at some of the country's achievements. For example, this small Caribbean nation has the world's highest proportion of doctors per capita. But more importantly, Cuba has assumed a major role in delivering humanitarian aid. It provides a nice contrast to the western aid industry.
